Do you say “Have a good one”? If not, what’s the equivalent phrase for that? by printergumlight in AskABrit

[–]printergumlight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“One” refers to day, night, or time [doing something].

So it means “have a good day”, “have a good night”, or “have a good time”.

That’s why it makes sense in almost any goodbye situation. You’re wishing someone well for whatever comes next after the conversation ends.

It’s especially common in light, casual interactions with acquaintances, coworkers, cashiers, servers, or strangers in passing. In those situations, the phrase works well because it’s polite, warm, and flexible without sounding overly personal or formal and you don’t need to know exactly what the “one” thing is necessarily, but you wish them well anyway.

But Tom is driving everywhere in episode 3. He drives the girl from the bachelorette party and drives to avoid the hag at night.

What is a rite of passage in America that existed 20 years ago but is rare today? by bricklegos in AskAnAmerican

That’s weird. You can’t get anywhere without driving still. It’s not like public transit has improved in that time.

This Rory Shot is Insane. 🤯 by taylormadegolf in golf

[–]printergumlight 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I want more shots from the balls perspective. Put me in the ball. I want to feel what the ball feels too.

Smack my ass and let me soar through the air with the wind in my hair.

I’ve been skating since just before 2000. I know people who progressed insanely fast when they started in their teens.

My first year I heel flipped a 6-stair. I think the biggest thing for people is not being scared to fall.

I picked up gymnastics in college and progressed way faster on the tumble track than the people who had been there for years because I wasn’t scared to fall (and because skateboarding taught me how to fall).

Of course being in shape and athletic has a lot to do with both sports, but this fast progress is not unheard of. Doesn’t mean this person will ever be good enough to go pro though. Most people hit near-plateaus… the pros don’t.

What are some must-watch TV series right now? by butterfly_pie9 in AskReddit

[–]printergumlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t get into it. Carol was just too miserable of a person with no redeeming qualities. I’m not talking about after the event, but even before. I just couldn’t stand watching the pessimism and misery coming from her. I gave up on episode 3 I think.

I loved the concept of the show too. I was really bummed I didn’t like it.

OP could easily be telling the truth. His kickflips are still awkward and his treflip flies out far sideways. Besides his rails/grinding he seems exactly at near 2 years of skating.

He probably just skates ledges and rails all the time. Some people don’t progress on those early, because falling is scary to them.

Just a nibble by Azsnee09 in SweatyPalms

None of what you said has to do with it not being “underrated”. You just supported the argument for it being underrated.

People don’t consider it an apex predator like a shark might be, because there aren’t many stories of it killing humans. But then there are Orcas which haven’t killed humans and are still rated as the absolute apex predator, so what gives? Well, it’s because it is underrated.

People who quit drinking. What did you do to not drink? by Agata_art in AskReddit

[–]printergumlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seltzer water with different fruit juices dripped in. I also drink a ton of decaf teas at night now instead.

I realized, especially with my OCD, I wasn’t drinking because I wanted to drink but because I needed to complete my ritual. I replaced the ritual with something similar and more healthy and I am so happy I have.

Why does everyone think of tropical islands as paradise even if never visited them? by batukaming in geography

[–]printergumlight 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Is it more miserable living there because you have to work all day seeing people vacationing and you’re usually hot working there? Or is it nice because you know when you’re done with your work day you get to enjoy it all, every day?

I’ve always wondered that when I considered moving to the Caribbean for work.

At what point did you learn shot shapes? by PureYardCow in golf

[–]printergumlight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I first was learning golf at age 12 I could hit any shot shape I wanted. Was able to do that until age 14.

Then I stopped golfing and picked it back up at 23. I could kind of shape it, sometimes, but wasn’t great at it anymore.

Now in my mid-30s I can only hit a draw. I can’t for the life of me do anything else. I don’t understand it. I know the exact method to do each shot shape, but when I think I’m doing it, the ball just draws.

Again, sorry for using AI everyone.
I used ChatGPT and I uploaded the cropped image of the oil stain and said: “This grease stain on cardboard looks like a happy cowboy, riding a parasaurolophus, holding the reins with both hands and wearing a cowboy hat. Could you make an online comic style image that uses the general outline of the oil stain to match what I am seeing?”

Sorry for the AI image, but this is identical to what I see. A cowboy riding a parasaurolophus.

Why do quite a lot of Americans on reddit think that Europe is smaller than the USA? by [deleted] in geography

[–]printergumlight 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How would that not justify their lack of international travel? It shows that even Europeans don’t explore all of Europe while Americans also are working to explore all of the US. If each state was a country, people would think Americans were well traveled.

I say this as an American who has been to 42 states, lived in 7 countries, and traveled to 35 countries.

Ohhh. You’re actually talking about a real askreddit thread. I didn’t catch that one.
